Address Is Approximate: Storytelling & Technology in wonderful animation

/
via vimeo.com

​

A lonely desk toy longs for escape from the dark confines of the office, so he takes a cross country road trip to the Pacific Coast in the only way he can – using a toy car and Google Maps Street View.

Google Street View stop motion animation short made as a personal project by director Tom Jenkins and includes no screen replacements. All the screen imagery was animated.

Such a fantastic merging of animation and technology.
